ROME, July 7 (Xinhua) -- Geely Auto and Jameel Motors signed a distribution agreement on July 3 to jointly develop the Italian market with new energy vehicles, according to Geely's official website.
In recent years, Italy's new energy vehicle market has seen continuous growth. Data from the local association Motus-E shows that in May 2025, Italy registered 7,134 pure electric vehicles, with the market share rising from 3.6 percent in May 2024 to 5.1 percent, reflecting the growing demand for green mobility among Italian consumers.
Geely's official website states that the company plans to launch two models in Italy, the globally smart pure electric SUV Geely EX5 and a plug-in hybrid SUV. Both vehicles are engineered on Geely Auto's Global Intelligent Electric Architecture, boasting striking exterior designs, comprehensive safety features, and exceptional power performance, poised to meet the Italian consumers' expectations for high-quality electric vehicles.
According to Italian news agency Ansa, Wang Mo, deputy general manager of Geely Automobile International Corporation (GAIC), said that expanding into the Italian market is a key step in Geely's globalization strategy. Through close cooperation with Jameel Motors, Geely is committed to providing green, intelligent, and safe mobility solutions to comprehensively enhance consumers' travel experience.
Marco Santucci, managing director of Jameel Motors Italy, stated that leveraging Geely's advanced technology and Jameel's customer-centric philosophy, both parties are confident in delivering real value to the market.
Geely Auto will establish a comprehensive business system covering sales and after-sales services in Italy. By building a nationwide dealer network, it aims to offer Italian consumers high-quality electric vehicles and premium customer service.
The cooperation with Jameel Motors will fully utilize Jameel's extensive experience and resources in automotive distribution, helping Geely to expand its presence in the Italian market more effectively. (Contributed by Gao Jingyan, edited by Yang Yifan with Xinhua Silk Road, yangyifan@xinhua.org)
